Studio : Dr. Mercola Publisher : Dr. Mercola Binding : Health and Beauty Product Description Today we're seeing a whole new generation of feminine hygiene pads made from petrochemicals. Most conventional sanitary pads are made from over 90 percent plastic, derived from crude oil, including superabsorbent polyacrylates, polypropylene and polyethylene. The use of synthetic fibers, plastic-backed panty liners, and contact with toxic chemicals can lead to burning and soreness of delicate tissue in certain individuals, especially if you are susceptible to allergies. Plus, these materials restrict the free flow of air and can trap heat and dampness. 0
